COVID-19
Plymouth Social Enterprise is working through the Covid -19 crisis to try and ensure that you are getting the most up to date news and support for your business.
We are working with Social Enterprise UK to collate information on the social enterprise sector during the crisis to allow them to demonstrate need in conversation with the UK government. We are also collecting our own information so we can use our resources to create impactful offers for the membership. We are also consulting with Plymouth and Devon County Councils about need and how they can support the sector.
We have regular updates on all funding and policy changes via our social media channels, our weekly newsletter is focused on bringing all those opportunities and more to your inbox as well as highlighting the amazing resilience of the sector. If you have story you’d like us to share then please get in touch.
We are also offering fully funded 1-1 support sessions to our members which you can access here.
We are here for our members in this difficult time and we will do everything in our power to enable social enterprises to come through these times and we will continue to fight for you and the vision of a fairer, kinder and more impactful economy in Plymouth.

"Lets be BETTER than the corporates, lets shout about it" - Passionate words and we couldn't agree more. We deserve more recognition. We did it to become an @SocialEnt_UK place, we gathered together and said we're doing good work we deserve to be recognised. @CouncillorTudor
A really valuable point from #jodiemarshall from Sheffield. Social Enterprises need to be better at shouting that they are here, we need to be more visible. Who wouldn't choose to shop at a #socent given the choice?
How do you tell people you're there? #SocEntSolidarity #socent
